Are they reviewing the 128Gb version or the 256 one?

    You will see difference in 50 MPixel photos.
    But, only 12Mpxels are in review.

      Love its look, minor change but cute.

      It's also nice they lower the picture smoothing for more details.

      Never Exynos anyway. Don't trust any benchmark, in real life it is exoshit. And at 900, it's a scam.

      I target 8gen3 ( not eu ), but not at 900. After two months or three usually zamzung lower price significantly, but don't say it haha.

        "virtual proximity sensor"

        That's a deal breaker

The Pixel 8 offers the same machine learning and updates-to-2030 selling points for less too, but has a last-year SOC, and not even the best one at that.

            Makes for a fascinating decision to make if you're in the market for a compact flagship right now. But at least the answer to "best smol phone at any price" does seem to still be this.

              Zuzuz, 01 Feb 2024Xiaomi 14 is betterBetter in some areas, worse in others. The rear camera hardware would be the main advantage of the Xiaomi 14. The s24 is also a lot more compact than the Xiaomi 14 though and a lot lighter so for people who like smaller lighter phones it still has an advantage.

                S24 should've had 12GB of RAM; UWB; autofocus with macro for the ultrawide; a 1/2.5"-type (or larger) 12MP 3× periscope telephoto; 256GB and 512GB storage options (no UFS3.1 128GB pls Samsung ffs); and the 50MP 1/1.31"-type GNK sensor for the main camera (the one with Staggered HDR that Google is using for the Pixel 8 Pro). Of course, this list is the bare minimum of what should've been done, and is not an exhaustive list by any means. I'm still very much disappointed in Samsung, but tbf unless they step up their game, soon someone is going to smash them like what happened to BlackBerry and Nokia, and I would be fully for it if it meant there could be a competitive environment, though not if it meant a duopoly again.

                  This site suffers a bit from the same problem as Apple: largely ignoring AI, especially the fact that the S24 line can do on-chip AI, which requires very advanced hardware to do it efficiently. Also, doing cloud-AI for free and with decent privacy is not something that the Chinese manufacturers can offer. I would not get anything else within this budget today, because AI is crucial for increased productivity (aka if you are not only a gamer or TikTok user).

                        "no matter if Vivid (DCI-P3), or Natural (sRGB) color modes were used"

                        Do you mean they are accurate and not impacted by the non-Vivid issue mentioned in the other article? Or that it is accurate because of that issue?

                          Anonymous, 01 Feb 2024Seems like a decent incremental upgrade. I still disagree ... moreMy problem isn't the signal quality (Google Pixel 7 Pro doesn't really have a signal problem, at least for me). The problem I have is with the efficiency. The modem drains so much power that I won't leave mobile data on for a significant period of time, because otherwise my phone would die before the end of the day. If Samsung has really acknowledged and solved the efficiency problems of both the chipset and the modem, then I say bring it on. But until then, Exynos is still a bummer.

                            Nubia Z60 ultra was in for review before s24 was announced ...

                            Today we see s24 review but non about Z60 ???

                                "Virtual proximity sensing" what? That's dealbreaker for me. Not in the S series, they went just too far with their greediness, €300 phone is ok without proximity sensor but not when they ask 900.
